Win a flag of Canada that flew at the North Pole!

The Canadian icebreaker CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent reached the North Pole on August 21, 2016, as part of an expedition to conduct Arctic research. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) researchers who took part in the expedition saved flags of Canada that flew above the ship on that historic day.

We are offering Canadians the opportunity to take home one of these flags!
